Hamilton nine. In this game Bell made a
home run, and Thayer drove a fly clear to
the centre field fence. Taking 1t altogether,
he says that Portland people have reason to
congratulate themselves about their team
and will undoubtedly see good ball at the
Portland grounds"
Burns of the Portlands, In recent game
during their southern trip, had two fingers
broken and wrist sprained.
The Portlands playlin Frederick, Md, to-
day and Baltimore tomorrow.
Manager Spence is putting the Portlands to
a severe test in matching them against clubs
so much stronger thansthey are. Last sea-
sons experience should teach, however, that
he knows what he is doing, and Portland
people are willing to rest on his judgment.
| Considering what they had to play against,
| the clnb has done well, and their experience
will do them much more good than the scrub
games several Of the New England league
teams are indulging in.
